OK Apple folks, explain this to me - right click...

MSP · 05-17-2007, 06:57 PM

I've been silently fuming about this for a few weeks, so now I have to ask - where is this functionality on a Mac? I'll give you an example.

On this website...

2007 Honda CR-V - Electronics Accessories - the Official Honda Web Site

...I want to copy the speaker image location and paste it into a thread. Using Firefox on Windows I would simply right click on the photo and select "copy image location". How in the fuck do I do this on a Mac? I've tried dragging to select the image and then searching around the menus, dragging it into my thread on another tab, etc. without success. What am I missing?

i think it's control-click, but I haven't used a mac in ages.

That was it, thank you! I'll try to get used to it, but right click seems the more elegant solution...

Doesn't help me when I'm using a MacBook with the onboard track pad and single button...

i hate macs so much, not because of the hardware or software, but the motherfucking user/fanbase.

Well you can also put two fingers on the trackpad and click, that should right click, but sometimes its hard for it to register. Ctrl click works all the time though. I use a regular logitech mouse at home and right click works fine, when im mobile I ctrl click and Im just used to it.

I hate macs because of that damn interface, if they opened their shit up it would be a different story.

I don't hate macs, but I agree that the motherfucking fanbase gets on my nerves.

And in the ads, I dunno if that asshat's name is Justin Long or something, but I'd dragon punch him like there's no tomorrow.

Yeah, his name is Justin Long. He actually graduated from my highschool a few years back.

That's probably the lamest excuse.

That would be saying like, I hate metal, not because the music is awesome but because the fans at shows mosh to hard and look like they are going to rape me.
